All of what’s happening in Minneapolis is deeply rooted in US history. And in Minneapolis and St. Paul history specifically: Read about the Rondo neighborhood, for example. It’s no accident the the flagship lake in the City of Lakes was named after the vice president of the Confederacy until just a few years ago. Don’t get too excited about making saints of us all here.
It’s crucial for us to recognize that historical precedent. It’s also crucial for us to recognize the extreme new danger of the present moment.

The KKK but with a budget the size of Russia’s military. Running mass detention camps.
Think about that for a minute.

Remember, you're on the Fediverse, so your job is to
- Make people feel bad for using other social media
- Guilt-trip anyone who uses AI in any way
- Attack people who don't include alt text
- Argue with anyone in tech because they must be tech bros
- Oppose anyone with entrepreneurial or for-profit interests
- Shame those who use GitHub or any corporate-owned or American product
- Nitpick even the good things just because you can
- Be morally superior and overly aggressive about supposed data privacy issues in tools that handle public posts
Alright, sarcasm over. Seriously, stop it.

People with trauma from working on security software projects run by abuse enablers: “Yes, it’s run by assholes who have never apologised but the technology is solid. You should use it, along with this tech that does a different thing and isn’t run by assholes. Both are thoroughly audited internally and by researchers.”
Creeps yeeted from security software projects: “Don’t trust this project! They hurt my feelings by not allowing me to commit human rights abuses on their dime and that is exactly the same as a security breach! They are funded with government money that was not a dealbreaker when I was being paid lots of it, but now that’s sketchy!”
The best security advice comes from people who don’t put up with abuse. It’s almost like privacy is about consent or something.
Cops in St. Peter. Minnesota, intervene in an ICE arrest. ♥️👍🏿
St. Peter Minnesota's police scorecard is better than most police departments in the US.
There is no racial disparities in killings by St. Peter police, because... St. Peter police haven't killed anyone in the last 13 years.🤷🏿♂️
And St. Peter has a higher percent of Black residents than California.

Mayor Shannon Nowell talks about ICE activity and law enforcement from the perspective of protecting the community *from* ICE agents.
Police chief Matt Grochaw lists 8 times that his officers have "had to make contact" with ICE agents, and speaks about the impact to community safety and well-being.
My point:
"Racism is just fascism practiced on Black people first" is true. But it has corollaries: "A community that is more resistant to racism, is more resistant to fascism."
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
You know the drill by now. I don't like talking about Black history. Americans know Black history. I want to talk about white American history. In other words, racism, and the erasure of both positive achievements of, and injustices suffered by, non-white people. That's what people don't know.
Try this: Ask your white US friends what the statue of liberty celebrates.
Now ask your Black friends. Or French folk of any color.

It was easier for me to think about the future of autonomous software development before it was the popular thing. I am easily influenced.
I obviously believe that programming agents raise the floor of software development and commodify an incredible amount of labor that used to be highly-skilled and valued. It’s all anyone is talking about. But it is not obvious to me that the ceiling stayed put; that we were at peak software deployment and complexity and all that is left is to do that faster.

All of this is why I get uncomfortable with a certain kind of focus on the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the mistaken narrative that focus can create.
Don’t get me wrong: we •should• focus on those murders. We should mourn them. Alex was one of the nurses who cared for my father-in-law when he was in intensive care at the VA. My wife remembers how gentle he was, what a good listener. They were my neighbors. Please remember them both.
17/
Please remember them. Remember them, and then remember what they died for: fighting a much larger danger. Remember what they were fighting, •see• it, and •act•.
Do not let their deaths be in vain by making their deaths the only thing you see.

My neighbors definitely do not think this is more of the same. You don’t have to take my word for it. Look at how many Somali and Latin-American restaurants were thriving in November and now are closed, or getting almost no business if they are taking the risk of staying open. Look at how many kids are staying home from school — regardless of legal status, just because of the color of their family’s skin. Look at how many families are living in houses filled with dirty laundry because they won’t even take the risk of leaving the house to go to the laundromat.

If it’s more of the same, why did all of this suddenly change in the last two months?

Note that this eye-popping graph only includes ICE, and not CBP, which saw a similar explosion.

This •is• precedented:
DHS murdered Pretti and Good the exact same way police have been murdering Black people for generations. The ICE+CBP abduction patrols sure look a heck of a lot like the bounty hunters who operated in the wake of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The terror tactics of CBP and ICE bear an uncanny resemblance to the tactics of the KKK.
None of that is a coincidence. It’s the same historical thread. It’s basically the same people.
Precedented.
11/
Precedented, but not the same:
If ICE and CBP are basically the reincarnation of the KKK, it’s the KKK with a budget the size of Russia’s entire military.
Literally. In the literal sense of “literally.” The incoming ICE + CBP budget is ~$140 billion.[1] Russia’s military budget is ~$145 billion.[2]
(If I’m misreading these numbers, please correct me.)

@fosdem yesterday, we had our post mortem meeting. Blown up to seven hours straight, and we only got through everything by aggressively skipping and timeboxing -- after(!) moving half of it to the kick-off... Almost twenty people on site in Brussels with half a dozen more calling in.
There's a LOT of details and discussions to running a successful #FOSDEM
Afterwards, we had dinner together
That is the horror that spurred Minneapolis-St. Paul into action. That is the horror we’ve been fighting. That is the horror that Renee Good and Alex Pretti died fighting.
And it is the horror that is destroying countless lives of people whose names you do not know.

I see that misguided narrative in the gutless business leaders who talk about “de-escalation” and “finding real solutions” — as if the problem is just that a few ICE murdered two people, not that all the ICE agents are an authoritarian secret police in the making.
I see that misguided narrative in the elected officials who decry ICE, but then talk about “better training” and “more oversight” — as if the secret police will become humane if they just get a few new rules to ignore and have to sit through a Powerpoint about them.

According to the Epstein files, he had a "personal hacker" working for him. The FBI document says Epstein's personal hacker was an "Italian citizen born in Calabria who developed zero-day exploits and offensive cyber tools and sold the tools to governments."
https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01683874.pdf
"[Redacted] sold a zero-day to Hebollah. [Redacted] was known as the first person to hack and find vulnerabilities in Blackberries and iOS. He was known for finding Firefox vulnerabilities. [Redacted] former company was acquired by CrowdStrike in fall of 2017 and was currently a vice president there."
"S//NF= was very good at finding vulnerabilities was friends with "old school" European hackers. "Received a trunk of cash from Hezbollah when was in Italy; drove the money to Switzerland and deposited it in another ba [redacted]. [redacted] owned a theater company in California and he used the theater company to launder his zeroday money
"Made six figures from the sale of his zero-days. He sold his tools to United Kingdom GCHQ and provided training to the organization. He also sold his zero-days to a Central African government, as well as Hezbollah for political reasons. The Italian Government asked for help, but [redacted] declined because he felt the Government was incompetent. Calabria was mob-controlled an did not have much loyalty for his birth country.
"[Redacted] sold his exploits to the United States and United Kingdom, but he would not sell to Asian countries because he a is racist. He was also anti-Semitic. [Redacted] was terrified of Russia, however, and would never travel there. He lived in Dubai at one time, and was acquainted with the [redacted] lived in Oman as well. He may have an Iranian and Israeli passport, in addition to his Vatican City passport"
Looks likely the top commenter here is correct about "Epstein's hacker":
For many people who’d been inside that bubble of comfort, particularly at national news orgs, the story •started• with those two murders. They now seem to have a half-formed mental narrative that runs something like this:
❝
1. First the Trump administration started deporting a lot more people.
2. Then ICE murdered Good and Pretti.
3. Those two escalations caused widespread unrest in Minneapolis.
❞
That narrative is wrong.

White people did not start protesting because ICE murdered Good and Pretti.
ICE murdered Good and Pretti •because• white people were protesting — and fighting back.
